I definitely name devices. Initially, it was because we needed some way for all of us to identify one another's computers on our network but it's become a nice way to differentiate between the multiple devices in the house that aren't on the network as well (e.g., my iPod as opposed to my roommate's).

The MacBook is Lorentz, the iPod is Euler, the external hard drive is Gödel and the desktop I'm planning to build will be Ada.

Yup, technology gets named for mathematicians/physicists. We do have a cat named Foucault, but he's named for the philosopher, not the physicist. (The other cat is Nietzsche.)
